Well, here is another possibility. It may be the case that Trump actually anticipates and looks forward to all this selective editing, misreporting, lies and so forth from the MSN. It just gives him another opportunity to make more headlines, slam the media, prove that they are trying to smear him, it provides a great sound bit and great for another tweet and so on. After all, his tweets are getting more attention than CNN, no? I think that the MSN has seriously underestimate the power of the alternative media in this election. Every time they go after him, he punches back even harder.
I think you are right. Trump, in many cases thus far, has been 2-3 moves ahead of the media, his detractors and the other R candidates.
